Threads of Connection, a community quilt project, is returning for 2023! Participants are invited to create a quilt square to share their perspective on prevention of violence, with a variety of materials and locations to choose from. This collaborative project began last year with over 140 squares completed by individuals from the community and will be continuing through April of this year! Many community groups are already committed to creating more squares in 2023. In honor of the 10th annual year of the event in 2024, the squares will be threaded together to display as a monumental community quilt.

No More Violence Week is an annual event that raises awareness about violence against children and in families in our community and shares skills for violence prevention. For a complete list of events, please click here.
